Fair enough FP - I'd largely agree with that. He's not my favourite player, but equally I can see what qualities he does have.

He may have been the "edge" we needed, quite possibly.

Equally starting Baldock over Maynard may have opened them up in the first half. I think starting Cole certainly may have.

Nolan probably has done the job you describe for BFS, but the last 3 games without him show the rest of them they can do the business when required.
